ICE has detained or deported foreigners who are also immigration activists
Washington Post ^ | 1/19/18 | Maria Sacchetti and David Weigel

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained or deported several foreigners across the country who are also prominent immigration activists, prompting accusations from advocates that the Trump administration is improperly targeting political opponents.

Detention Watch Network, a nonprofit that tracks immigration enforcement, said this week that several activists have been targeted recently, including Maru Mora Villalpando in Washington state, Eliseo Jurado in Colorado, and New York immigrant leaders Jean Montrevil and Ravi Ragbir.

“They’re trying to intimidate people,” said Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat of the House Judiciary Committee. “These are well-known activists who’ve been here for decades, and they’re saying to them: Don’t raise your head.”

Makes good sense. It has influence on more illegal aliens that way.

Foreigners should not be allowed to be immigration activists.

It’s like a passive-aggressive military invasion.

This is a terrible injustice because they’ve only detained or deported several foreigners across the country, it should have been hundreds if not thousands by now.

Actually they are most needed to be deported because they cause trouble. I’d rather get rid of the radicals then the ones just supporting their family keeping their mouth shut.

is improperly targeting political opponents.

Proper: removing illegal immigrants from the the country.

Improper: use the FISA court and the NSA to illegally spy on political opponents.

Be very careful with the fire you are playing with Dems. Be very careful.

Oh, I guess Trump should “properly” target political targets using the FBI, CIA, IRS and NSA like Obama and Hillery.

Funny, I thought it was ICEs job to enforce immigration laws.

“ICE has detained or deported foreigners who are also immigration activists”

In other words, they are loud mouthed pains in the ass.

Good. These aliens should be intimidated for agitating in a foreign country where they're the guest.

They're not guests, they're illegal aliens who should be deported like any other illegal alien.

Foreign agents agitating for the overthrow of our government should be deported or imprisoned.
